me when there’s finally a new fic posted of my otp and is well-written with A++ characterization
When you’re 10 chapters into a fic and realize you forgot to check if it’s completed:
uh. i’m currently working on 4 hours of sleep so forgive how incoherent this is.
just a super short au based on this gifset, because apparently i’m still obsessed with how the spell merlin uses to make the butterfly means “create a life”
i love how it went from roman trying to tell dean in some way not to do it and then just accepting it after he does it anyway and being like.. ‘yeah, that’s my boy’

I totally agree. Everybody going straight to sambucky right after honestly pissed me off. Like ship whatever you want and all, but don’t compare them.
ok so i'll just say it: i don't like that everyone just replaced stevebucky for sambucky after endgame and feel now entitled to judge the few remaining shippers. like i get it, the ending canon gave us was awful and i will never forget about it but those pairings don't have the same energy AT ALL. i am not saying you can't ship them, go ahead, but everyone just keeps going like "sambucky is superior!! stucky sucked anyways lol" and like.... mmmm... no. you were literally shipping them yesterday, karen, wtf.
i honestly like sam but what bucky had with steve will always be incomparable to anything else. they grew up together, know everything there's to know about each other and long to be together, even if it's only as friends. and they keep finding the other across space and time, first in a 70 years old gap, then in the run, then one of them needs to heal, then he dies. but they always come back. bucky always goes back to steve because he ultimately loves him and before engame, steve used to love him too. he would love him so much that it would influence him twice, once when he took down an entire criminal organization and then again when he opposed to 117 countries to do what he felt right. he didn't do it for bucky, but even implying that he didn't play a BIG role at the moment steve took those decisions is just unrealistic. their plots were driven by each other's, every little thing they did related to their brooklyn days when things were different. steve's whole Thing is based entirely on the life he experienced next to bucky. their bond is UNBREAKABLE, endgame can suck it. i can literally name like five straight couple with direct parallels to stevebucky key moments and that's why they, in the core, were written to be together. as buddies.
and i won't sit here and make a list of why you shouldn't ship sambucky or diss on them because that's not my point. y'all forgotten about stevebucky! what really drew everyone to them and how passionate we all felt towards them! im lowkey drifting away from the mcu too, which is cool you know, but i refuse to replace a ship that mattered so much to me just because half of the stucky fandom did and have also decided that now bucky and steve are problematic and sambucky is interracial!!!1!
TL;DR: sambucky is nice but if you gonna ship them don't do it in spite or resentment against stucky, that's just petty, and especially if you're only doing it to look fake woke and poke fun of the same fanbase you were in like ten days ago
Saving to re-read later 👍🏼👍🏼
A while ago when we were doing the fic rec ask game, @enniec123 asked me to make a rec list of KC fics from FF.net, because let’s face it, AO3 is much more user-friendly and the main haunt these days. That being said, there are some hidden treasures on FF.net, and I remember scouring through there when I first entered the fandom. So here the list is, but a few things first:
- The list is, obviously, purely subjective. About half of these I read so early on I don’t even remember what they are about, other than the little mark of star I left in the document title to suggest that I enjoyed them when I was curating my fic database lol.
- Some of these you might also find on AO3. I honestly didn’t check.
- I’m mostly putting things that I think Ennie might have not read on this. So some of the classics, like Two Lost Souls which I absolutely adored and worshipped back in the days, are not here. The authors and works I’ve mentioned in the previous fic rec asks are also not included here. However, some authors I just have to highlight - AddrianaDestiny, Scarletborn, theonetruebear, xxredwineandambience, bellamywinchester, off the top of my head. If you haven’t read their amazing works, please please do.
Okay, disclaimer done. Now let’s go!
Keep reading
